Three large-scale studies in 2007 found that federally funded chastity promotion has no effect on teen behavior. The latest of these, released in November by the bipartisan National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unintended Pregnancy, noted that none of the abstinence-only programs studied "delays the initiation of sex, hastens the return to abstinence, or reduces the number of sexual partners." Then in December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the teen pregnancy rate had risen 3 percent in 2006, the first increase after a 14-year decline. On March 11, the CDC announced that 26 percent of young women ages 14 to 19 have a sexually transmitted disease (STD), a figure that a CDC spokesperson called "epidemic."  </FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9863ADFD-CA54-4591-9992-3D22ABECD442/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
